Women's Self-Defence Classes in Adelaide
MINDSET runs women's self-defence classes in Adelaide every Saturday for beginners through to experienced participants. Contact us to confirm the current class time and availability.

What to Expect
Our Women's Self-Defence Class runs every Saturday morning in Adelaide and is built around one thing, giving women the skills, tools, and the mindset to protect themselves in real-world situations.
Classes are small and supportive, creating an environment where you can push yourself without pressure. Whether you've never thrown a punch in your life or you're looking to sharpen existing skills, you'll be welcomed and challenged at your own level.
Every session covers practical technique work, the kind of moves that work under stress, regardless of your size or the attacker's size. You'll also develop sharper awareness, better instincts, and the confidence to act when it matters.
We are currently looking at starting a second group class. The proposed Wednesday evening class is at 7pm, with the start date to be confirmed. Email us for details.

Common Questions
Do I need to be fit to join?
Not at all. Our women's classes are designed for all fitness levels. The techniques we teach work regardless of your size or strength, that's what makes them effective for real-world self-defence.
What will I learn in the class?
You'll learn how to escape the most common attacks women face such as grabs, chokes, bear hugs, and ground situations along with awareness skills and the mindset to act under pressure.
Is it just physical training?
No. We cover the mental side of self-defence too: situational awareness, trusting your instincts, and the psychology of avoiding conflict before it starts.
